Preparation

Step 1

Butterfly the shrimp along the outside curves. Spread about 1 t. cream cheese inside each shrimp. Cut bacon strips in half lengthwise; wrap a piece around each shrimp and secure with toothpicks.
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, eggs and bread crumbs. Coat the shrimp with flour, dip into eggs; then coat with bread crumbs.
Heat oil to 375 degrees. Fry shrimp, a few at a time, for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Discard toothpicks before serving.
